How would you maintain source properties (i.e., rows and columns)
when you translate a target language into Scheme? Using
`set-source-properties!'? I think translating into an intermediate
representation is more convenient. Is there a really good reason
for a translator to target Scheme?
I'm thinking of the following compilation steps:
reader translator
Source code -----> Parse Tree --------> Intermediate Language
(text) (language specific) (internal representation)
compiler codegen
-------> Primitive Language ------> tree, bytecode, machine code, ...
(internal representation)
The intermediate language should be based on Scheme, but not necessary
to be Scheme itself, I think. We don't need to use lists to represent
the intermediate language; instead, we can use more compiler-friendly
representation during compilation.
